VFC_Baxter Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Great Picture. Where was that a painting of? In 1916 I would have thought the English beaches would have been closed to holiday makers. Quote

In 1916 I would have thought the English beaches would have been closed to holiday makers. Not sure where, but got this one from the Aerodrome site... believed it was 1916, with RNAS Avro floatplane trainer. If anyone has good knowledge of RNAS training bases they might be able to work out where it might be. Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 . It's near RNAS Capel at Folkestone. That rising headland and waterfront pavilion are the giveaway. . Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 . Just ran across this 1910 postcard of the beach at Folkestone from almost the exact same perspective. . 1 Quote
